Discussion board threaded comments

We need to provide a way for users to comment or reply to a comment on a SharePoint list item and track the status of the comments.

Users would be able to select a list item, view the comments and then like, approve or reply. The comments should be shown indented so you can see what are replies a bit like how Yammer displays these.

Plan is to use a list to store comments with a parent ID and related list id to track replies but does anyone know of an example app I could use as a jump start with this threaded reply concept?

 

  • Alan Marshall There is no SharePoint online out of the box web part available for your requirements. But you can build the custom web part using SPFx for such requirements.

     

    Here's advanced commenting SPFx web part which might help you to get started with: Advanced Comments Box 


    Please click Mark as Best Response & Like if my post helped you to solve your issue. This will help others to find the correct solution easily. It also closes the item. If the post was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Like.

      The solutions needs to run inside the Power App so a SharePoint web part wouldn't work. We think we can leverage the Teams Connectors and Graph API to create a conversation solution without needing to leave the Power App
